Hi, I’m John.

A man with light brown hair wearing a plaid button-up shirt, sitting outdoors on green grass with a building in the background.

My stories and humor pieces have appeared in anthologies and several literary magazines, including McSweeney’s, The Chicago Reader, Wisconsin Review, Points in Case, and The American Bystander.

I live near Chicago with my wife and our Boston Terrier.

I mostly write fiction and humor, but I also make occasional comics and videos.

I’m inspired by dreams and half-waking thoughts, but what drives me to create is simple:

“I want see what that looks like.”

If you don’t try to create something, you will never get to meet your creation. It’s that simple.
